Relating to the eligibility of children and other dependents of certain military personnel or veterans for tuition and fee exemptions at public institutions of higher education.

HB 4347 allows children and dependents of qualifying military personnel or veterans to use unused tuition exemption credits from their parent or guardian. It permits active-duty service members (or veterans who would qualify but for the honorable discharge requirement) to waive unused exemption hours and transfer them to their children. After a qualifying military member's death, the exemption can be assigned to children through a spouse or legal guardian if the child doesn't otherwise qualify. The change applies to tuition and fees charged for the 2025 fall semester and later.
